A FREE events for dog owners is taking place as a result of a partnership between a council and the Dogs Trust.
The event will be taking place in the Parochial Hall on Guisborough Road in Great Ayton on Monday, July 3 from 11am until 3pm. Trained officers will be on hand to provide free health checks, nail clipping, training and health advice, as well as microchipping.
There will also be information packs for those thinking of getting a puppy, or who currently own one.
Every Hambleton dog owner can get their pet chipped for free by going along to a roadshow, saving about £20 to £30.
The Dogs Trust has donated the microchips and will also check existing microchips, updating them with current information if necessary.
It will soon by illegal to transfer a dog to a new owner if the dog has not been microchipped.
The sessions are a partnership between Hambleton District Council and the Dogs Trust.
